Lovely Baby Came to Me novel Chapter 71

It was at this moment that a woman walked by, it was Reeva.

“Hector, I’ve been looking for you for a long time,” Reeve saw Hector first, then only she saw Eloise on the side. She slanted her eyes, seeming that she was surprised, “Miss Thompson, you’re here too? What are you two…”

“Well, Mr Rogers and I happened to meet here coincidentally. We were just chatting and were going to leave!” Eloise explained, but that was indeed the truth.

Hearing this, although there was no change in expression on Reeva’s face, inside she felt that it was more complicated than it seemed.

Did Hector refuse her because of this Eloise before her?

Did he fall for this woman?

This horrible thought appeared in Reeva’s mind, she shook her head, thinking that she might have thought too much.

Reeve smiled and replied, “I see! Well, Hector, Grandpa had asked me to come find you, he wants to introduce some people to you.”

Hector frowned slightly, he had wanted to find Eloise and then send her home, but now…

He wanted to refuse, but at this moment he heard Eloise reply, “Miss Lawson, you two can continue your conversation, I’ll go find Rupert.”

Saying this, Eloise left hurriedly.

“Let’s go, Hector, Grandpa is still waiting!”

Hector stunned, he threw away the cigarette in his hand that was not lit up, and finally he left with Reeva.

On the way, Eloise walked before them, distanced from the two. Reeva looked at her silhouette and smiled, “Miss Thompson is so pretty! She looks very compatible with your brother too, how long have they been dating? When would you arrange their marriage as his brother?”

Hearing this, Hector’s expression darkened, as he replied, “She’s not Rupert’s girlfriend.”

“No?” Reeva stunned and said in pretend, “Then he must still be going after her. Rupert should really put in more effort to not miss such a nice girl like this.”

Reeve felt it clearly, Hector had a great reaction, was he really in love with Eloise?

Glaring at Eloise’s silhouette, Reeva clenched her fingers together. No matter what, this man would only be hers.

Although she was refused tonight, Reeva still believed firmly that he would fall for her in the future.

Just like what Grandpa had said, there was still a long way to go.

…

Eloise found a seat simply at the ball, she did not know why she had ran away hurriedly just now.

Not far away, Hector held a wine glass, deep in conversation with some persons in the business field. Reeva was standing next to him.

Seeing this scene, the thought that they looked perfect for each other suddenly appeared in Eloise’s mind.

At that moment, her expression became complicated.

After a while, Eloise stood up and found Rupert. She told him, “Rupert, I’m feeling a little tired, I’ll go back first.”

“What?” Rupert had wanted to ask his brother to send Eloise home, since Eloise was dressed up so nicely by him today, who knew if something would happen between the two if they went back together. But by the looks of it his brother was unable to leave, so Rupert replied, “Alright, then wait for me outside, I’ll go get my car.”

“It’s alright, you should stay on! I’ll just hail a cab.” Eloise did not want to trouble him.

“No way, I brought you here, and I have to send you home safely!”

Rupert would not dare to let Eloise leave alone, if anything were to happen, his brother would have beaten him to death.

Eloise did not refuse further. Rupert went first to get his car, so she followed outside as well.

At this moment, Agnes who was in the shadows watching Eloise for a long time saw this, and a dark smile appeared in her eyes. She signalled towards a man not far away.

Upon the orders, the man walked towards Eloise.

Eloise was a little absentminded, in her stance she bumped into the person before her. When she came to her senses, Eloise begun to apologise profusely, “I’m so, so sorry. Are you alright, sir?”

The man looked to be around thirty years old, he looked ordinary, dressed in a white suit. He had a glass of red wine in his hand, because he was bumped into by her, the wine were all splashed upon his clothes. At this moment it looked very obvious.

“It’s alright, it’s just that my suit is dirtied.”

The man smiled, his tone was soft and he did not blame Eloise, seeming to be very gentlemanly.

“What if I send it to the wash for you?”

Eloise felt guilty, the man had come to the ball but his clothes were ruined by her. Yet he was still in good temper and did not even say a word of blame.

The man before her hesitated and replied, “That’s fine too, then please come with me, I have to go change into new clothes.”

Eloise heard this and did not give a second thought about it before she went with him.

Agnes who was not far away saw this scene and she smiled slightly. Eloise, I shall see what you would do.

Robbie saw this too and he asked, “That man was arranged by you? What are you intending to do?”

Agnes smiled, “Robbie, doesn’t tonight seem too boring to you? I have to arrange for some drama!”

Robbie heard this and could not help but look forward to it.

…

The ball was held at the first floor of the hotel, while there were many rooms on the second floor of the hotel.

When they reached the door, the man took out his key card and opened the door.

Eloise said, “Sir, you should go in and change! I’ll wait for you here.”

The man heard this and smiled at her.

“Since you’ve come, why don’t you have a seat inside?”

“No, thank you,” Eloise refused.

This was a man’s room, it was not good for her to go in. Further, she would be leaving after taking the clothes.

As she said so, the man pursed his lips and his tone sounded dangerous.

“That’s not up to you.”

Saying this, he reached over and pulled Eloise in.

Eloise stunned, she had not even the time to react. When she came to her senses, she was already inside the room.

The man locked the door and turned on the lights in the room.

Eloise was terrified, an uneasy feeling flooded her insides.

“What are you doing? Open the door, let me out.” Eloise’s tone became colder.

That uneasy feeling was becoming stronger and stronger, she clenched on her skirt tightly, trying to calm herself down.

The man smiled and was no longer a gentleman like just now. He took a long look at Eloise, looking perverted.

“We’re alone, what do you think I’m going to do?”

Saying this, he started to take off his tie and walk towards Eloise.

Eloise retreated, her expression becoming awful.

This man had bumped into her on purpose, she had been fooled…

…

Downstairs, when Rupert drove his car out and waited for a long time, but he did not see Eloise coming out. He could only return to the ballroom looking for Eloise.

But he walked around and did not see where Eloise was.

Where was she? Rupert could not help but frown slightly.
